Sorry to have to add another one the list of "points to set manually" Chitrasai1-Oracle.

I have the same with How to migrate an Agent-only 12c instance using BAR file which doesn't show up in my Reputation > Activity and which didn't give me any point yesterday.

While a different thread marked today gave me the points.

(Edit)

And another one just now Usage tracking data updation not counted and not giving the points. Quite random apparently

Hi Chtraisai,

Same problem for me with this thread, the points were not added :

xmltype data retrieval

Thanks

Hi,

do you need to know the individual posts that have missed marking, if so; -

a. can we guarantee that we find them all by comparing inbox marks with activity marks?

b. is there really no system wide fix for this, is there nothing at the back end that allows the same 'Correct or Helpful' in inbox And  not exists in Marks at the back end?

c. Shouldn't there be some kind of general message goes out if it is on a basis of you have to ask or you do not get the marks(?) - I did not mind too much in the scheme of things, but if you are struggling to the base camp of one of the lower levels then maybe the marks mean more to you...

Another one:

Re: Oracle SQL to Swap digits

Thanks and best regards,

Hi, I noticed that this answer that was marked as correct a few minutes ago in the SQL & PL/SQL forum has also some problems:

QUERY SINGLE PARTITION VIA PROCEDURE gives ORA-02149: Specified partition does not exist

1) It does not show in my profile reputation section (the last activity seems to be three weeks old, but I have been very busy and did not participated too much on the forums, so I may have not receive other correct/helpfull marks in the meanwhile except for today correct answer):

2) It did not added the points to the profile.

Just for you too know that the issue still exists.

Regards,

Yeah, I was just about to report this zero points bug after not getting any when I should've.

Can you add; -

and

To your list please.

So, how does a person know if they are not getting their points?   Without watching points and watching what gets marked as correct/helpful and checking to see if the points changes, people aren't really going to know.  So it seems a little wrong for people who are watching to be manually awarded the points whilst others are going blindly about helping others without recognising that they are not been awarded the points they deserve.

If there's an issue, there should be a technical solution to resolve it, and to identify everyone who has lost out and then adjust their points appropriately, otherwise some people are going to start complaining of unfairness.

Personally, I don't care about the points, and I can imagine that I've had things marked helpful or correct and not been awarded the points... but I just don't know.  What I do care about though is that all members are treated equally if there's an issue that needs resolving.

Oh, absolutely, it's good to help identify the issue. 

However the current solution of manually correcting the points for people who are pointing out specific threads where they should have received points is not a good one, and is biased.  That's something Chitra needs to bear in mind.

I understand and completely agree.Apologies for causing confusions.

I initially thought of it because users who contributed should not loose the points.But yes we do not want to do any bias.We may have to look this from different perspective.

I will discuss with the team and let you know about manually assigning the points.

Sorry for the inconvenience ,

If this is not now futile, also this, both helpful and correct...

I agree the problem should be fixed retroactively as well. We just can't check the threads all the times and feed this one with manual update requests, all the more when it's about database communities. I guess writing an update (or merge) script to fix the problem shouldn't be such a big deal, and you can find volunteers here ready to help with the statement if necessary
